Chapter 108 The Third Underground Level
Long Yangyang secretly took out a pinhole camera from her spatial storage and photographed these people as evidence.
"Brother Fu, let's go and see other places."
Although these people are pitiful, having witnessed how some high-level zombies obediently stay in the laboratory as research materials, Long Yangyang would not presume to believe that she and Fu Muyu have the ability to rescue them.
Fu Muyu shared the same thought: since the other party was able to set up such a research institute at the Qingdu base, their capabilities must be extraordinary.
Since the other party was able to feed level six or seven ability users with ability user crystal cores, they would probably be even more willing to invest in him. Fu Muyu felt that even if it was the Star Source Fragment from the research institute, it was best not to take it away for the time being, so as not to alert the enemy.
"Brother Fu, don't you think it's strange? There don't seem to be any surveillance cameras here, or maybe they're just too well hidden. I didn't notice any."
“It’s true, there really isn’t any.” Fu Muyu didn’t believe that surveillance equipment could escape his eyes. “The corridor in the lab requires identity verification every three meters or so, and you have to show your ID card to enter. That’s probably why they haven’t installed surveillance cameras.”
The checks are too frequent, meaning that even within the same research institute, not everyone is allowed to move around freely. The identification card represents everything.
With such stringent identity card information, it seems that the people at this research institute are very certain that no outsiders will intrude here. What gives them such confidence?
"We've reached the end." Long Yangyang noticed that there was a white wall in front of her, which meant that this floor only contained these laboratories and experimental products.
"Let's go down to the next floor and take a look." A research institute certainly wouldn't have this much space, so Long Yangyang used her energy points to have Xiao Fei inspect the institute's structure.
[Yangyang, the research institute has seven floors in total, three above ground and four below ground. You are currently on the second basement level.]
Long Yangyang pondered the plot, and sure enough, she found no description of the research institute in the story. Long Yangyang immediately felt that she might be reading a fake book.
Since there was no surveillance, Long Yangyang decided to explore the research institute thoroughly.
"Xiao Fei, deduct the energy points, then teleport me and Brother Fu to the third basement level and use a spatial shield to isolate our presence."
Even a level seven ability user could be trapped. Long Yangyang was worried that the research institute might have some kind of instrument that could detect ability fluctuations, so it would be safer to have Xiao Fei teleport them.
"Okay, Yangyang."
Long Yangyang and her companion entered the third underground level and found that it was different from the second level. It was pitch black, and suddenly, red dots appeared in the darkness.
The largest dot was no bigger than an adult's thumbnail, reflecting an eerie red light.
"Brother Fu, there are supernatural energy fluctuations, level three, level four, and level five." Long Yangyang thought to herself, "I should have brought Qiu Ling with me. This child's supernatural abilities are like a cheat code, so convenient."
"Let Yaoyao come out and shine a lightning ball on her."
Yaoyao is the name that Long Yangyang gave to the mutated Azure Sea Immortal Peach Tree. The name is taken from the phrase "The peach tree is young and beautiful, its blossoms are bright and beautiful".
Long Yangyang raised her right hand, which held the peach branch, and channeled wood-type energy into it. Sensing the information Long Yangyang was conveying, the peach branch instantly glowed purple. To Long Yangyang's surprise, the lightning on the peach branch did not harm her at all.
The purple lightning illuminated the area around Long Yangyang and Fu Muyu.
At this moment, Long Yangyang looked around and was filled with regret. Why did she light up this place? What were all these things?
The half-human, half-beast experiments on the upper levels had already pushed the limits, but the experiments on the third underground level further refreshed Long Yangyang's worldview.
The zombie rabbit's limbs had been replaced with pangolin claws, and its body was fitted with bat wings. Even more bizarre was the dog next to the rabbit.
It has three heads! Cerberus? But upon closer inspection, Long Yangyang realized that the leftmost dog head is actually a fox head.
Long Yangyang even saw an even more bizarre zombie "snake" in the deepest part, with antlers, fish scales... its appearance was very similar to the legendary "dragon", if you ignored the traces of the stitching.
"This research institute is too crazy! They're just randomly piecing together zombies and animals. Are they trying to create mythical beasts?" Long Yangyang didn't know whether to criticize these researchers for being insane or for their wild imagination.
The two continued forward, and with the help of the miniature lightning, Long Yangyang discovered that the red light had disappeared at some point. Although they were also strangely shaped animals, they were not zombie animals.
“Mutant animals with special abilities.” Long Yangyang looked at these mutant animals. It was obvious that the stitching marks on their bodies were more blurred and could not be detected without careful observation.
It's just unknown whether these mutated animals can make good use of the spliced parts.
"Brother Fu, look at that one up ahead!"
With a deep blue fish tail and a human upper body, how similar was it to Shi Qing's merman form? Shi Qing had told them unequivocally, "There are no people like him on this planet."
"Can humans live in water?" The other person was locked in a five-meter-high water tank, which was filled with water and contained no other living beings besides "him".
Looking at the creature with its eyes closed, Long Yangyang could sense the level five supernatural power emanating from it, and the slight trembling of its chest indicated that it was not dead.
"Does Shi Qing breathe with lungs in the water too?" Long Yangyang asked.
Fu Muyu: ······
In Shi Qing's inherited memories, there shouldn't be any concept of the lungs as an organ, right? Fu Muyu didn't know how to answer Long Yangyang's question.
Long Yangyang's idea came to her on a whim; she didn't necessarily need to know the answer.
"This, is it the phoenix they created?" Long Yangyang's gaze fell on the large red bird on the other side. After forming a contract with the Tree of Life, Long Yangyang could clearly feel the bird's life force fading away.
A level-five mutant bird with supernatural abilities would be a dominant force anywhere outside, but here, it's nothing more than a dying experimental subject.
Although Long Yangyang sympathized with the plight of these beasts and humans, she had long since learned to be cold-hearted and aloof since the apocalypse, and did not want to expose herself. Long Yangyang had no intention of saving them.
If they can hold out until they wipe out the entire lab, then we'll talk about it then.
Long Yangyang had Xiao Fei use his spatial abilities to conceal their presence, intending to go to the fourth underground level to take a look.
As soon as Long Yangyang entered, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, as if something extremely dangerous existed on the fourth underground level.
Long Yangyang cherished her life very much. Sensing something was wrong, she didn't have time to see what was on the fourth basement level and immediately asked Xiao Fei to take them to the first basement level.
Long Yangyang looked at the clean and tidy basement and blinked. What was going on? There didn't seem to be much supernatural energy fluctuation. Most of the people on this floor were ordinary people.
